Summary

When Dirk finally makes it back into his session, he is horrified to find no trace of his friends and their respective planets left in shambles. Everything is terrifyingly silent, and he thinks that maybe he is the only person left in all of the universe, save for the inky, tentacled gods dwelling in the Furthest Ring and the countless splinters and copies of himself. The worst part is not that he couldn't be there to help, or even to die alongside his friends; it's that he knows he can't do anything to fix this. ( S: Game Over fic, in which Hal had never been prototyped.)

Summary

The others make a game out of guessing how far along the timeline the Daves and Aradias were when they died. You say it'd be cheating if you played and retreat. It would be cheating, and not just because you know already, but because it's easy to tell the difference once they're awake and know they hit the unlucky lottery and ended up the extra Dave that got killed.
